Summer Serve Day 2023

Sunday, August 6th

 

On Sunday August 6th, instead of our regular worship service, Family in Christ will reach beyond the church building walls to serve our friends, neighbors, and community.  Family in Christ has built relationships with local partners in our community, and these are the places and people we are serving this Summer Serve Day. 

 

We have opportunities for all ages and abilities.  Scroll through the list below and find one that fits you and your people!

 

“For even the Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve others and to give his life as a ransom for many.” (Matthew 20:28)

Chadash

Feed the Crew
 

Each year, one of our local partners, Chadash Dance tells a thought-provoking and redemptive story to our community through the visual arts and dance at the Broomfield Auditorium. 

One way to be involved is to simply invite a neighbor or co-worker and enjoy the show. 

Another is to help feed the cast for one of their daily Family Dinners. Can you make or provide a hearty meal for 20 people?

Contact Regan (regan@familyinchrist.com) with any questions.

Any night between Aug 2-9

 
 
 

Jesus on Colfax

Join Pastor Mike and other leaders as we help to encourage both those who lead the Jesus on Colfax ministry and those they serve by establishing positive relationships within their ministry region. We’ll likely be sitting with the lonely, serving the needs of others, and ministering according to the spirit. 

Once registered, you’ll receive more details as they become available. 

We will meet at FIC at 9am on Sunday, August 6th (likely to return mid-afternoon) and Carpool to JOC ministry area in downtown Denver

 

The Refuge Projects

 
About the Refuge, from their website:
 

“A hub for healing community, social action, and creative collaboration, The Refuge is deeply dedicated to centering those who fall through the cracks of life and faith, living out our shared values in tangible ways, non-hierarchical team leadership, and collaborating with community partners because we are always better together.”

Family in Christ is joining with The Refuge for four different work project opportunities.  Join a refuge team to serve with your sweat and muscles on one of these projects.

Card Ministry

Join us in the simple, yet powerful act of sending a handmade, handwritten card of love and encouragement. 

We’ll meet at FIC on Sunday, August 6th from 10:00-11:30 am to write them together.  

Questions? Email Heidi (Greer.Heidi.tl@gmail.com)

Prayer Walk

On August 6th at 9 a.m. as a part of our summer serve day, we will gather for an intentional prayer walk.

A prayer walk is a powerful way for believers to step out in faith and cover the community around Family In Christ in powerful, specific, and strategic prayer.

Please register (so no one gets left) and be ready to listen to God and pray to Him as we walk the neighborhood

Sunrise of Westminster:

Worship Service

Did you know that some of the residents of Sunrise of Westminster join us each Sunday online for church? Help us reverse that role as we will take a live worship service to them so that we can praise God together. 

For most, just sit next to someone new, ask them a few questions, and join them in worship!  

For a few… want to help with the music or even with the message? Contact James and Regan

Sign up for this event and simply complete one of the ideas below, or create your own random act of kindness to love your neighbors! Meet a need… build a relationship!

  • Bake, make a dessert, or make a meal for a neighbor, or someone in need.
  • Plan an event with a neighbor: hiking, a meal out, a movie, a concert (Chadash?), a museum,  etc.
  • Mow your neighbors lawn! (Maybe just the front!)
